Regardless of David's original intentions, he is being victimised for exposing war crimes. There is nothing just in his incarceration.

At least in CWD-causing prions, plant accumulation is significant enough for the plants to be infectious when consumed by mice in a lab setting. So, maybe?

Treating somebody poorly, purely for spite or some form of retaliation, seems like a lot of unnecessary energy to expend on somebody who may not deserve that much space in your mind. The golden rule is not about whether someone has the right to be treated better than they have you, it is about discovering grace within yourself and extending it towards all others.

As to why you should, I could use another turn of phrase- "Lead by example". You had a poor example in how to extend grace to others in the form of your teachers, and you have the opportunity to be a positive example to others in their place.

Carbonated water is slightly more acidic than still, so just be aware of your teeth and guts if you're drinking heaps of it. Some people take issue with supporting an Israeli owned company, others don't. There's always other brands if that suits you, I know aldi does one called soda king that's interchangeable with Sodastream.

I did it with hiking shoes because that's all I had with me, but I'd recommend hiking boots with good ankle support instead. There's a short scramble towards the top but it's not overly difficult.

Another favourite of that trip was the Old Man of Storr up at the Isle of Skye. It's a less technical hike but much more exposed to the elements and can get windy.

Also, I'm by no means a photographer. Scotland is just so stupidly pretty that you struggle to take a bad photo- get over there!

I took a hike up in to the Lost Valley in Glen Coe on the recommendation of a very drunk Scotsman at a nightclub in Edinburgh. It was the absolute highlight of my trip and I'm so glad I made it.
